Appendix: List of Falun Gong Practitioners in Shanghai Women's Prison (Incomplete)

The prison was built in September 1995 on the south side of Sijing Town, Songjiang District, Shanghai. Hundreds of Falun Gong practitioners have been tortured in the prison since the persecution began in July 1999. Many have died or become mentally or physically ill.

1. Summary

On the outside, the prison looks like a fine building. There are potted flowers sitting on prison guards' office windows. On the west side there is a electrified wire fence.

The entrance of Shanghai Women's Prison. On the inside there is a black door that is used by the prisoners.

Solitary confinement is a place specifically used to torture Falun Gong practitioners. There are three partitions in the confinement area. The windows and doors are always locked. It is hard to see and hear from outside what happens in the rooms. The guards often torture practitioners there. For example, when practitioners have their periods, the guards pour dirty water on the ground and tell the practitioners to sit in it. The guards often stick dirty mops from the bathrooms in practitioners' mouths, shock their faces and mouths with electric batons, handcuff them into torturous positions or hang them up from handcuffs, deprive them of sleep, force them to stand for up to 16 hours a day, and do not let them take showers. If there are foreign media or organizations visiting the prison, the guards transfer these practitioners to a place that can not be found by outsiders.

1-1 "Special Squad for Falun Gong"

The 5^th Brigade is the "Special Squad for Falun Gong" and is known to the outside as the "Political Learning Brigade." Most of the Falun Gong practitioners are kept there. Captain Hou Ruiqin sent the guards who work in the Squad to Beijing Women's Prison to learn how to torture practitioners and force them to give up Falun Gong.

1-1-1. Collaborators are accomplices to the crime of torture

Most of the prisoners in the 5^th Brigade are drug addicts. They have to take a training course to learn how to beat and torture practitioners into giving up their belief before entering the brigade. There is also a point system for the prisoners to receive reduced sentences if they cooperate in torturing practitioners.

The guards also put the collaborators in trouble if the practitioner they are in charge of refuses to give up Falun Gong. Everyone in the same cell with the practitioner will be punished--they have to copy prison regulations dozens of times and are not allowed to sleep for several days until they finish. Sometimes they are put outside to march around during hot summer days. The prisoners often vent their grudge against the guards by beating the practitioners.
